Hi Chris,

We have taken care of all the comments that WG had given on this draft and
the below version of the draft has all the updates:

URL: https://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd-04.txt
Status:         https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd/
Htmlized:       https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd-04
Diff:           https://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-nitish-vrrp-bfd-04

Major updates that we have done in this version:
1. Added few Variables for VRRP Protocol for P2P mode of operation.

2. Included State Machine for VRRP in the case of P2P BFD mode of
operation.
   Which outlines the details of how to form the Peer table and when to
start and stop the BFD sessions.

3. We have also updated the p2mp Section with the comments that you had
given, for the source ip to use in the P2mp BFD packets.
   We have also mentioned the state machine of VRRP in the mode of
operation, Just to outline the interactions VRRP will have with Multipoint
BFD.
   This is for making it explicit in the state machine.
   Although there is no update to the Protocol state machine in this case,
we have mentioned this in the document.

4. IANA considerations updated in the document to allocate the namespace
for VRRP Packet types.


If there are no further comments on the draft we would like to ask the WG
for Adoption. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Nitish
